Athletes in Advertising

[Xuperman]

Feels like a good time for a fun thread discussion.

Let's include coaches.

I gotta start off this thing by saying....I am now officially annoyed with anything Rob Gronkowski puts out there. This dumb jock routine combined with the juvenile persona has me killing the sound or changing the channel. The USAA commercials are really stupid and that new Pizza Hut commercial proves he's consistent. Same can be said for anything Jason Kelce...he's a close second.

On the other hand, I really like Mahomes. He is a very effective pitch man. The comedy is always fantastic...ESPECIALLY the spots with Coach Reid!!
Speaking of coaches...Coach Saban is a natural. Excellent straight face funny guy!! The Airbnb owner in the Vrbo spot is PRICELESS!!

Barkley has always produced and is a natural. He's got Magic beat easily amongst the old regulars. Payton Manning has created a solid personality with a consistent sense of intelligent humor...Both Mannings are really good.

All of the young NBA guys suck. This "I'm a filthy rich athlete" condescending humor always seems to have some stupid white guy "prop". The Taco Bell spots come to mind.

Caitlin Clark IS NOT a natural. Angel Reese is the opposite. Danica Patrick is always "pleasant".

How about these PGA guys? Geez.
